IPC market situation is good, Taiwan firms and local firms go halves on a fifty-fifty basis
-- China IPC Market Review
Along with the development of industry and service industry informationization unceasingly thorough, an important task for many key industries rely more and more on the IPC, low-cost industrial automation control based on IPC is becoming the mainstream, especially on the equipment demanding field, such as electric power, metallurgy, petrochemical application requirements, environmental protection, transportation, construction and other industries the big growth. IPC products and technologies is very special, belong to the intermediate product, the application range is wide, from the industrial automation, military, electric power, extended to many areas of service, from the set-top box, digital home digital TV, to the bank teller machines, the highway toll system, gas station management, omnipresent, along with the information requirement of each industry continues to increase, the IPC in great demand, development prospects of industrial personal computer market is very broad.
In 2012, the economic situation of domestic and industrial slump, industrial automation market suffered heavy losses, affected by this, IPC declined in the application of an industrial automation. However, IPC growth in the military, financial, power transmission and distribution industries were, so the steady increase in the overall performance of IPC. In 2012 Chinese IPC market reached 4750000000 yuan market scale, the annual growth rate of 4.9%. Gongkong is expected 2013-2015 years, IPC market will maintain steady growth of nearly 10%, the market development of the situation is clear.
Non industrial field demand expansion, the military market, the largest proportion
Industrial automation industry affected by the 2012 industrial market downturn trend, dropped to second place in the industry, accounting for 16.6% of the overall market, in 2011 fell 3.8%, the largest decline industry become; and third emerging industry and construction industry, such as transportation, telecommunications, medical, building, network security and military, transmission and distribution, market demand has been expanding. Network security, medical, military industry in the IPC market growth in the top three.
In 2012, benefited from the steady growth of the national defence and state of the industry technology upgrade requirements, military industry growth, become the domestic application of IPC downstream industry's largest, market scale reached 831000000 yuan, accounting for 17.5% of the overall market. IPC application in the future growth will follow the national policy, play an important role in environmental monitoring, intelligent transportation, smart grid, intelligent Home Furnishing, remote medical treatment, safe city etc..
IPC is the mainstream market, gradually shared with commercial PC transverse Technology
At present, the IPC is still the market most products widely, in 2012 the sales accounted for the overall market share of 49.8% of IPC; card products currently in single board computer, accounting for 42.4% of the market share.
IPC often operate in harsh environments, the data security requirements are higher, usually for reinforcement, dustproof, moistureproof, anticorrosive, anti radiation and special design; for scalability requirements are very high, the interface is designed to meet the need for external device specific, so IPC products demand customized increase year by year. Have the ability to provide customized solutions to mainstream IPC vendors, the market share rising; as for the small and medium-sized suppliers, mass customization ability is limited, the market share has declined relative to.
With the development of video monitoring is a safe city, HD monitor the gradually increasing demand especially, for IPC video capture function demand increases; with the application of Internet of things, information trend, intelligent equipment and networking equipment demand gradually increased, IPC product shape is more and more small, function more and more strong, the market the demand of embedded IPC will be more and more.
Since, industrial computer and commercial computer present complementary inseparable technology dependence, their respective application domain independent, but the technology is the mutual influence, mutual promotion. Now, more and more computer manufacturers began to pay attention to and Intel and other well-known CPU manufacturers expand horizontal technical cooperation
Future, the IPC technology advantages of openness, compatibility, and dustproof shockproof, anti disturbance performance, began the development trend of local instead of commercial PC.
